Charlene just celebrated her sixth birthday in a loving foster home. She has one birthday wish. That wish is to find her forever family. This pretty girl arrived to BHS on a December evening. She was picked up by her amazing foster family shortly after, and they've had nothing but the best things to say about her. She is such a sweet, loving girl who is crate-trained, house-trained and LOVES to take a good snooze. Charlene also enjoys showing off her toys to anyone around her proudly. Toys make her so happy every time she sees one; her whole back end wiggles! Charlene prefers to be the center of your world and would like to be the only fur child so she can always stay in the spotlight. This girl will surely win over your heart!
What's Next? I am currently in a foster home so if you'd like to meet me, please complete an online adoption application and either send us an email at animalcenter@bmorehumane.org or give us a call at 410-833-8848 Ext 2 so we can coordinate a meet!

More about this shelter
The Humane Society of Baltimore County, now known as the Baltimore Humane Society (BHS), was founded in 1927 by a pioneering and compassionate socialite named Elsie Seeger Barton (1886-1983).
In 1902, at age 16, Miss Seeger was stricken with rheumatic fever and was confined to her bed. During that time, her constant companions were the family’s beloved pets. It was at that time that Ms. Seeger resolved to devote her life to the care and humane treatment of companion and service animals. When she became well, she established a refuge for abused and homeless animals on her family’s estate, known as “Thistle Top” on Milford Road in Pikesville, MD, overlooking Gwynn’s Falls Dam. In 1908 she married Bolling Walker Barton, Jr., President of Barton, Duet & Koch Paper Company.
